It’s climate change. It’s real. It’s all around us. It’s not political. And it requires action. Take action in joining our panelists for The Fundamentals of Communicating About Climate Change event in which we will delve into topics together such as: framing language that leads to successful connections in communication, how education around climate change exists currently in our lives & communities and how it can be improved upon, and how to spark communication into action in others as well as within ourselves. Tired of unsuccessful communication around climate change? We are too. Let’s learn together about how to talk about it right.    **our event is a FREE virtual event in which we encourage absolutely anyone & everyone who is interested in these topics to attend!    Event Panelists:  Rishya Narayanan from Mass Audubon  Simone C. from Spring Forward  Frida G. from Spring Forward  Lindsay Jordan from National Network for Ocean and Climate Change Interpretation (NNOCCI) & the New England Aquarium  Dr. Julia Colwell from the University of New Hampshire's Natural Resources and the Environment Department    Event Moderator:  Isabella Luca from Communities Responding to Extreme Weather (CREW)   Any further questions?
